Going off on a tangent this blog of yours got me to thinking about our incompetent public sector servants no scrub that not servants, masters and other tricks of their trade. Like when things have gone badly and they cannot come up with the appropriate smoke screen device such as the data protection act. They say lessons have been learnt which means that now they know how to do it badly all the time.

One only needs to look at the proliferation of organisations in this country, dedicated to the support/welfare of offenders or ex-offenders ..

And then compare that to the paucity of organisations representing victims of crime, to see how the offender is always regarded as and portrayed as being the "victim" .. whilst the real victims are simply discarded & ignored ..

Caring for, or worrying about the feelings or "rights" of criminal scum supports a vast industry .. many of its workers making a very cushy living .. thank you very much ..

Until a semblance of balance is achieved & restored, nothing will change ..

I fail to see what our probation service is supposed to do with some of these people.

They have just been released with the certain knowledge that catching them is hard, convicting them is difficult and imprisoning them is automatically halved.

We are teaching them that it's not really serious. My sympathy for the probation service is limited, but as they've got an impossible job and their hands are tied, I can see they don't fancy being publicly blamed.
